Case Study: Dunakontroll improves recycled paper moisture measurement with Ouster lidar

Dunakontroll measures recycled paper loads in 20-30 seconds with Ouster

Dunakontroll, a company focused on efficiency in the recycled paper industry, faced the challenge of accurately identifying the moisture content of incoming paper pulp on moving trucks. Inaccurate measurements led to operational inefficiencies and significant financial discrepancies, as pulp is bought and sold based on the weight of dry fiber alone. To address this, they turned to vendor Ouster.

The solution implemented used Ouster's OS0 lidar sensors combined with microwave technology and software to create a rapid scanning system. This allows a precise volumetric and moisture scan of each truck load in 20-30 seconds as it drives through a gantry. For Dunakontroll, Ouster's technology enabled highly accurate pricing, resulting in potential annual cost savings in the tens of millions of dollars, while also boosting operational efficiency and sustainability in paper recycling.
